High Fructose Corn Syrup Makes You Stupid
We now know the real reason so many of our kids can’t finish high school. They have been fed too much high fructose corn syrup and they have become dumb.Read More: brain damage, Coca-Cola, high fructose corn syrup, learning, Pepsi
Quality Sleep Boosts Memory and Learning
I was fascinated by a new study from researchers at the University of Chicago showing that complex tasks learned during the day, and often forgotten, were remembered in the morning after sleep helped to consolidate and preserve the new learning.Read More: learning, PhosphatidylSerine PS
Quality Sleep is Needed for Memory and Learning
When teachers watch grades plummet they invariably know something stressful is going on in that student’s life. That is because the inflammation resulting from the problems is disturbing sleep – and a good night’s sleep is now turning out to be the key to memory and learning.Read More: brain plasticity, learning, PhosphatidylSerine PS, Sleep Helper™
Glial Cell Function Vital for Learning
A major breakthrough in our understanding of nerve cell function opens the door for strategies to improve learning. Central to the issue is the function of the glial cells within your brain (also called astrocytes). For the very first time bi-directional communication between glial cells and nerve transmitting cells has been identified, showing how glial cells regulate learning. This discovery is of extreme importance to everyone.Read More: glial cells, learning
Magnesium Boosts Brain Function
A new animal study shows that intake of magnesium above what is traditionally considered the normal dietary amount has a dramatic effect on improving multiple aspects of memory and learning, findings that held true for both young and old.Read More: learning, magnesium, synaptic plasticity
Zinc is Vital for Learning, Memory, & Synaptic Plasticity
New research has proven for the first time that zinc is a vital nutrient for healthy nerve transmission, especially involved with learning, memory, and the formation of new nerve connections (synaptic plasticity). “We discovered that zinc is essential to control the efficiency of communication between two critical populations of nerve cells in the hippocampus,” said James McNamara, M.D., senior author and chair of the Department of Neurobiology at Duke.Read More: learning, long term potentiation, memory, zinc
